For a filler this episode was pretty good IMO. The colors weren't as dull and the story is getting a bit better. LOL @ Rock Lee's first ninjitsu~
Also the cliffhanger at the end makes me very excited for the next epsiode...something I haven't felt in a while with the Naruto series.
OVerall 9/10

skipped to the fighting scenes and done.

[pw1388]

it was okay. im waiting for the next episode.

[freetgy]

this was a really nice episode i give a 4-5 Star

everyone else then me expected Naruto to fall in that poison gas?
(before watching the episode^^)

[Demonish]

ok. all i hafta say is i want that song "Natsuhiboshi naze akai.." *waits for it to be released in someway somehow in mp3 format* kthx. and the way Naruto is now kinda reminds me of DBZ..lots of talking..and looking around..and less plot movement=/ i think we all agree its about time we finish this series. the best animes have always, in my opinion ofcourse, less then 26 episodes.(unless multi series). or a movie. *sob*

Synopsis available at http://naruto-fillers.blogdrive.com/

Review: 4/5. The fight was nice. It's a bit strange though that Natsuhi seemed so strong, yet could be knocked out by a single hit from Naruto.

DB Fillers Countdown: To continue for another 2 weeks.

I give it a 9/10

It was good, fight was good.

To answer the question about the one-hit KO, We've seen this before. When Naruto fought Neji in the Chunnin exam, Naruto came from the ground with an uppercut and knocked Neji out.

In my opinion, which is really open to debate because even I'm not 100% behind it, just because someone is strong in their chakra, doesn't mean they are physically strong. A brawler like Kiba was taken out with Naruto's combo, but Neji went down with a strong uppercut. Sakura was taken out by Sasuke with one shot. It could be relative to where/how hard the person was hit as well.

On a more direct note... is there 2 more episodes to this arc and then Naruto leaving? Or is it one more episode and then Naruto leaving and then Kakashi Gaiden?

i'm curently praying the hidden star village. the chakra star(as i call it) reminds me of the hero water from the hidden waterfall village.(see ova #2).any way good episode.

[CaiSter21]

does anyone know exactly when the fillers will end?
cause i head someone say that it was suppose to be eps 180 that the filler arc ended

[Blaine]

I've just had a look at leafninja, they have the following upcoming episode names,

Jpn. 04/19/06 Episode 181: "Hoshikage, Reality Consigned to Oblivion"

Jpn. 04/26/06 Episode 182: "Reunion, The Time Left Over"

Jpn. 05/03/06 Episode 183: "The Star Whose Brillance Increases"

So it seems that there might be at least 3 more filler episodes.

[Missilebuster]

shit... so this whole 26 more eps of filler may not just be rumor... i refuse to download this crap

[Petbe]

I swear if it is 26 more episode.... I.. I... I do not know what I would do. But awwwww. When I saw the 3rd episodes title I had a bad feeling.

[Ippo-Kun]

more... fillers? *sigh*

[Zek]

Well it's possible that the "Star" reference is just a coincidence and it's talking about Naruto or something. Probably it's filler, but it could be leading into the next manga arc. Does anyone know what DB's original reason for that filler prediction was?

Fillers make me Cry

I think episode 182 refers to the reunion of the kid from the star village and his mother (who he thought was dead). And the episode after that, 183, continues the filller arc.

I swear on monir's life if there are another 26 fillers I am done with Naruto. I will wash my hands with teh sunofabitch!

......Maybe pick it up when I'm 42 or something.

[KiNA]

LOL shay why on monir's life? why not yours?

but lets think positively, both 182 and 183 coincide nicely with Jiraiya picking up Naruto for the timeskip and Kakashi Gaiden start .. so pray hard?

[Pakxenon]

Fillers will end at ep200ish. Don't bet on it. No, it's not proven, but I'm 99% sure.

Filler was alright. Lots of action and a nice cliffhanger. Rock Lee learned a ninjutsu!!!! 4/5
